Triumph Motorcycles has finally dropped the official launching date for the upcoming Speed Triple 1200 RR, which will be unveiled on September 14.
While details remain scarce, the latest teaser trailer and photos suggest that the Speed Triple 1200 RR might not just be your typical sportbike.
Instead, the British firm adopts a unique approach, especially with the single circular LED headlamp paired to a classic looking front end similar to a Cafe Racer appearance.
Apart from knowing the RR is equipped with the same three-cylinder engine from the Speed Triple RS, it is still unknown whether the power figures will remain at 177hp or higher.
That is the only info we could work on right now; the rest we have to wait until September 14 to have a detailed look into the new Speed Triple 1200 RR.
Boon Siew Honda has officially unveiled the 2021 Honda CBR150R for the Malaysian market.
Marketed as the new baby brother of the Honda CBR250RR, this 150cc sports bike comes with a number of big-bike parts with a reasonable price tag.
Design-wise, the 2021 Honda CBR150R does carry the CBR250RR cues, especially its front headlight setup.
All LED lights from front to back gives the bike a more modern and aggressive appeal while its fully digital meter display further amps its sporty look and feel.
Underneath all that jazz lies a 150cc single-cylinder DOHC PGM-Fi engine that produces around 16hp (12kW) at 9,000rpm and 14.4Nm of torque at 7,000rpm.
All that power is sent to the rear wheel via a six-speed manual transmission with the addition of an assist/slipper clutch.
Just like the CBR250RR, the 2021 CBR150R also comes with upside/down front forks, which are becoming more common on entry-level bikes nowadays.
Interestingly the 2021 CBR150R is equipped with a dual-channel ABS model and Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) for added safety.
There are two colours available namely Mat Charcoal Gray Metallic and Candy Scintillate Red.
The 2021 Honda CBR150R is available for a price of RM12,499.
Husqvarna has been caught testing the next-generation Svartpilen 401 in the U.K.
The Svartpilen burst into the scene in 2018 as a friendly dinky retro motorcycle for new riders.
However, fast forward to 2021, the Bajaj build small capacity motorcycle has since facing stiff competition from other major brands.
Looking at the spy shots by MCN, the Svartpilen 401 features a similar engine setup as the new KTM Duke 390 and RC390.
While not much can be said about the new-gen Svartpilen, one of the most striking changes is the new steel trellis frame.
It also features a new design, notably the exposed frame and sub-frame previously hidden by extensive bodywork. Other significant changes include a new swingarm that is now bolted to the back of the frame.
The test mule also features a new radial front brake calliper which should improve the motorcycle braking capabilities.
Judging from the new bodywork, it is safe to assume that the Svartpilen has received a significant overhaul instead of just a revised Euro 5 engine.
Currently, the Svartpilen 401 is powered by a 373cc single-cylinder engine capable of producing 44hp @ 9,000rpm and 37Nm @ 7,000rpm.
While we don’t think there could be a major power boost from the new engine, the new motor could offer an improved rev-range than its predecessor.

BMW has just announced a new electric bicycle at the IAA Mobility show in Munich, Germany.
Dubbed as the i Vision AMBY, the e-bike frame uses similar suspension components to other high-end electric bicycles, including a Gates carbon belt drive.
However, the electronic package is 100% build by the German marquee.
Hence the i Vision AMBY is equipped with a high-power motor and a huge 2,000 Wh battery that BMW claimed can reach a range of up to 300km in its lower power mode.
Users can select between 25km/h, 45km/h or 60km/h speed settings that can be adjusted via a smartphone app.
However, you must register the bike and get a license plate first for users who intend to go faster than the 25km/h European legal speed limit.
Honda recently launched the all-new CB200X in India, an adventure motorcycle based on the same engine found on the Hornet 2.0.
We are now able to take a look at detailed photos of the new motorcycle thanks to the latest report by BikeDekho.
The overall design of the CB200X shares the same characteristic as its bigger siblings, the CB500X; however, some aspects are taken from the Hornet 2.0, especially the angular V-shaped LED headlights.
Other features include a tall windscreen, a wide handlebar, engine protector, handguards and split seats.
It also offers the same instrument cluster found on the Hornet 2.0 that allows smartphone connectivity and navigation.
Nonetheless, the CB200X comes with higher ground clearance, longer travel suspension and 276mm disc at the front and 220mm at the rear.
Other exciting features include an upside-down fork, preload-adjustable monoshock and 17″ alloy wheels.
Meanwhile, the 184.4cc single-cylinder engine churns out 16.3hp @ 8,500rpm and 15.5Nm @ 6,000rpm.
According to reports in India, the CB200X is priced at INR144,500 (RM8.2k) and is available in Sports Red, Matte Selene Silver Metallic and Pearl Nighstar Black.

Husqvarna has unveiled its entire electric motorcycle and scooter concept ahead of IAA Mobility Show in Munich.
This is the first time the Swedish company has rolled out all three electric vehicles to the public.
Starting off with the Husqvarna Vektorr, the electric scooter gives out a very futuristic vibe.
While it may look fast, the e-scooter tops at just 45km/h, making it suitable for every range of riders. However, the low speed helps boost the range to 95km, thus ideal for city use.
There’s no word yet what sort of power it uses, but it is unlikely it will carry anything larger than a 3kW motor.
Next is the Husqvarna E-Pilen concept, which was first unveiled back in April.
Compared to the Vektorr, the E-Pilen portrays similar design cues from the gas-powered Svartpilen and Vitpilen, thanks to a circular shape LED headlamp and almost the same tank that now fits three battery setups.
Husqvarna claims the E-Pilen is powered by an 8kW motor capable of delivering a top speed of between 100-120km/h with a maximum distance of 100km.
While both models look promising, there is no guarantee that any of these two-wheelers will make it to the production line anytime soon, but there’s nothing wrong with putting our hopes up.

If you own a Ducati Panigale V4, chances are you might have swapped out the standard exhaust in exchange for a performance-oriented exhaust system.
However, if you are in the market to search for a new one, you are in luck as Termignoni has just dropped the D200 full titanium twin-pipe exhaust system.
The D200 offers the proper bump in performance and sound, including substantial weight reduction, and creates a whole new aesthetic of the Panigale V4 by replacing the stock underbelly exhaust with an under tail setup.
The full-kit features titanium headers, titanium RHT silencers with carbon fibre end-caps, heat shields, brackets, ‘ Limited Edition’ plate, and (lasered) Titanium wording.
However, do not that the new D200 titanium exhaust system is only for track-use; therefore, they are not street-legal.
The Termignoni D200 titanium exhaust is available for EUR6,344 (RM31.2l).
As confirmed by patent photos, QJ Motor, the sister company to Benelli, is expected to launch the QJ7000D electric motorcycle in the next few months.
Rated at 7kW, thus the name QJ7000D will put the new electric motorcycle on par with a gas-powered 125cc with QJMotor claimed puts out 13.4hp.
The motorcycle was first unveiled as a prototype at the 2021 Beijing Motor Show and what caught our attention is the visible storage unit underneath the tank.
Looking back at the patent photos, QJ decided to continue with the same feature on the production bike.
It also features a ‘floating’ rider and pillion seat, with no bracket attached to the tail. Other features include a single front disc setup with an upside-down fork and clip-on handlebars.
Meanwhile, despite an offer as an electric motorcycle, the QJ7000D is equipped with a conventional manual transmission.
Moving on to the important bits, QJ Motor claimed a top speed of 104km/h and a range of 96km, making it a suitable e-bike for city roads.
Moto Guzzi has teamed up with American footwear company, Timberland, to produce a series of collections to celebrate the Italian company 100th anniversary.
The collection includes Moto Guzzi X Timberland Waterproof Winter Extreme Gore-Tex Super Race Boot, Moto Guzzi X Earthkeepers Boot, leather jacket, half zip hoodie, a long sleeve tee and selvedge denim pants.
However, the Waterproof Winter Extreme Gore-Tex Super Race Boot caught our attention as it remarkably features the Mandello iconic colour scheme of black and red.
It also offers ample ankle support with high top construction, while the Vibram rubber sole provides a better grip.
The Super Race boots are available via Timberland.com at USD332 (RM1.3k). By the way, we took a look at Timberland Malaysia, and the collection is yet to be made available. (not sure it ever will, though).
Moto Guzzi V7 has emerged as the best selling (over 700cc motorcycle) in Italy for the month of August.
With over 213 units delivered to customers, the V7 outperform its Japanese, German and other Italian competitors.
The achievement is deserving for Moto Guzzi, as the Mandello-brand celebrates its hundred years of history.
The V7 is currently available in two variants, Stone and Special, with both equipped with a new 850cc that delivers 65hp @ 6,800rpm and 73Nm @ 5,000rpm.
The new generation of V7 was presented earlier this year with a completely revised engine and featured more comfortable riding ergonomics and a powerful motor without losing the Guzzi DNA.
